Israel reported 423 new cases of Covid-19 yesterday. They are up to 4,097 total cases considered active. They're up to 81 people in the hospitalized with 47 of those cases considered seriously ill. 13 people are on ventilators. Israel has now had 7 people die this week after going nearly 3 weeks without a death prior to the Delta wave hitting.
@Infoseepage What I'm curious about is, are those people on ventilators and those deaths all unvaccinated people?
@trinsec The largest number of cases are in the least vaccinated age brackets. From what I understand, pretty much all the vaccines are 90+ % protective against severe Covid and death after the second shot, but are much less protective against "mild" symptomatic illness (which can still be quite bad). The mRNA vaccines do somewhat better at preventing illness outright than the J&J, Az, etc.
@Infoseepage Yeah. I've read that vaccinated people can still get sick, just less severe. But that means that even vaccinated people can still spread Covid... which means herd immunity is pretty much non-existant.
